Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

374 Refining Poison Men, Deranged

The green poisonous fog surrounded these people, and their skin had turned into this color. This continued day and night. Even if the Five Poison Sect did not deliberately refine them, these people would have carried poison.

They didn’t need to use any weapons, as they were the most powerful weapons. If they self-destructed in battle, every drop of blood and every piece of flesh would contain a large amount of poison, and those around them would die upon contact.

Without the antidote, even the most powerful experts would not be able to hold on for long. They could only die with hatred. The destructive power was terrifying, and it could be called the fantasy version of a biochemical weapon.

The Five Poison Sect’s viciousness had truly crossed Ye Xuan’s bottom line.

Zhou Hong’s voice was filled with excitement as he asked, “When will the latest batch be produced?”

“Around ten days to half a month.”

Zhou Hong frowned and said in a cold voice, “Why do you still need so much time? Can’t we speed up?”

“We can’t rush this matter. Great Elder, you also know that it’s not very stable if it’s done quickly. There have been many failed attempts in the past. It’s not easy to find such a good embryo, wouldn’t it be a pity if it’s ruined?”

“If it’s ruined, we can just go and catch another one. It’s not easy to find celestial treasures, but two-legged cultivators can be found easily.”

To Zhou Hong, human lives were just a number. These cultivators were like ants. Who would care about the life and death of ants? Ye Xuan couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Sensing the reproachful tone in Zhou Hong’s words, the disciples quickly explained, “That may be true, but because we’ve made too big of a move, we’ve attracted the attention of all the large sects. They’re all very careful. If we act rashly, we’ll be easily exposed. Moreover, the ancestor is about to come out of seclusion, so it’s not appropriate to cause too much trouble.”

The disciples’ voices became softer and softer as they spoke. They did not even dare to look at Zhou Hong.

“His Excellency has ordered us to restrain ourselves.”

The ‘His Excellency’ they were talking about was the mysterious man who had spoken to Zhou Hong earlier.

“I see…”

Zhou Hong’s tone didn’t sound abnormal, but his expression became extremely cold. For a moment, even the temperature in the air dropped a lot.

The disciples were trembling in fear, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Zhou Hong just looked at them a few times and did not say anything.

Although Zhou Hong was unwilling to give up, the mysterious man’s contribution was indispensable for the Five Poison Sect to be able to successfully refine the poison men. Even the ancestor had given the order.

Ye Xuan caught a few keywords.

Who was this ‘His Excellency’? It was unlikely that he was from the Valley of Medicine Masters and had colluded with Zhou Hong. Judging from the behavior of these disciples, it seemed that this person had a high status in the Five Poison Sect, slightly above Zhou Hong.

Seeing Zhou Hong turn around and leave, the disciples heaved a sigh of relief.

“You didn’t see it just now, but Great Elder’s expression changed immediately. I was so worried that I would be the one in trouble.”

“Great Elder has lost his beloved son, and his mood has been fluctuating recently. We have to be careful not to get on the wrong side of the Great Elder. I heard that a few days ago, a disciple said something wrong and was thrown into the poison pool.”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. The new guard will be here soon. I’ll go check on the situation in the poison pool. You should quickly deal with the person that Great Elder brought here.”

The disciples chatted for a while before getting back to work, leaving only one disciple there. Ye Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, saw that it was an excellent opportunity to make a move.

The disciple was about to deal with A’tian when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. The disciple said without turning his head, “Didn’t you say you were going to check the poison pool? Why are you back so soon?”

No one spoke behind him. He felt a little strange. He saw a cold blade from the corner of his eye. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

With lightning speed, Ye Xuan placed the sword on his neck. If the disciple was careless, he would be killed.

The disciple from the Five Poison Sect sized up Ye Xuan’s figure and turned pale with fright. “Who are you? How did you break in?!”

This was the depths of the poisonous fog, and the concentration of the poison was no small matter. Even they had to take a specific antidote pill to be able to enter and exit.

Even so, they couldn’t stay for long. They had to change shifts at a certain time, or else the effects of the antidote would wear off and there would be the danger of death.

It was almost impossible to see another person here.

The disciple was about to shout.

However, Ye Xuan saw through his thoughts, and his sword moved an inch forward. He threatened in a cold voice, “Don’t shout. If you draw the others here, let’s see who’s faster. Would they be faster or would my sword be faster?”

The great elder had just left, so this person must have lay in ambush in the surrounding area. He didn’t attract anyone’s attention and wasn’t affected by the poisonous fog, which showed that he had extraordinary skills.

“You will answer every question I ask you. If I sense that you are lying, the King of Hell will be waiting for you to drink his tea.”

This disciple was a sensible person and also extremely cherished his life. After seeing Ye Xuan’s strength, he nodded vigorously. “I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“Who’s your spy in the Valley of Medicine Masters? Does the Five Poison Sect have spies planted in other sects as well?”

Since the Valley of Medicine Masters had been infiltrated by the Five Poison Sect, it could not be ruled out that the other sects were in the same situation. If there was no one working from the inside, why had no one noticed so many disciples had gone missing earlier?

The disciple’s face paled. He had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but now he was sure that Ye Xuan had overheard their conversation. He lowered his voice.

“I don’t know.”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s threatening gaze, Ye Xuan obviously didn’t believe what he said, so he hurriedly explained, “I really don’t know about this kind of thing. It’s always the great elder who personally contacts the spy, and no one else can interfere.”
